Imitators

Ephesians 5

Walk in Love

¹Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.

Paul is teaching the Ephesians how to act and treat one another. He says a profound yet simple statement, Be like God because He loves you. What I love the most about this statement is not the part that says we need to imitate God, but we do it because He loves us and we love him.

It’s like my sons, they imitate what I do because they love me and they know I love them. It’s the greatest form of flattery. This is a great message for father’s and son’s. Dad, listen, your sons are watch you, give them something to imitate!

God, let me be an imitator of you so my sons will imitate you too!
